Group personal accident insurance is designed to provide a tax-free cash payment in the event of the death, disablement, or loss of hearing, sight or speech of an employee in the event of an accident.
You can choose whether to stick with cover for just occupational-accidents or to extend your policy to cover your staff 24 hours a day. Policies can also be extended to cover business travel and personal travel for the directors and their families.
